Li, Rerr Yu; Bei, Feng Li, Wang, Xin; et.al. (Chinese Journal of Organic Chemistry, Vol. 23 No. 9, 984-987) The article deals with the solid-phase reaction of furfurylamine and vanillin at room temperature. The product is characterized by proton NMR and other techniques including crystal structure analysis. (Private Access).
Imine Rates
2003 Moonkwon Lee; Jaebum Choo Gives a rate of a similar imine monitored by Raman spectroscopy which is very close to the rates we have been getting - about 0.01 /M*min in CDCl3 for acetophenone and aniline derivatives
